This was not all about Sage . You need to do research on a topic before you post about it. Jeeze. Tonights march was about a lot more then just the lack of help from the police and the media in the search for Sage. This was a march of empowerment and gender equality, of RESPECT and kindness. This was a march against victim blaming and sexual violence. This was a march in solidarity with the women in India protesting rape. Once again poor reporting on your part. Such a disappointment.

I attended this rally and it was a march of empowerment with all respect of gender equality as well as rallying for the return and/or answers about Sage. But it is sad to see so many that rant and rave or what is being done. So my advice to you all that become so opinionated and/or complain. Ask yourself "Well what am I doing to make a difference". Because you venting frustrations but are you really taking a stand for your beliefs and for the sake of these teens that are going missing and no one seems to care. There is not an incident that goes on that someone doesn't see something. But until it happens to you, you will never change your way of thinking.

Perhaps it's time for the local media to step up to the plate. NBC 29 could air PSA's on tv about the case, not just the news coverage. Same sort of thing for local radio and newspapers. This is all about community and by amping up the message, what does anyone have to lose?

*yawn* Without knowing where or why this individual went and took a walk on the wild side, making this "event" about anything other than finding them is premature.

To the family of the missing person, beware. There are others that would steal the spotlight and make it all about their own agenda. Some of them are already posting in this thread.

To those that would make these "events" about anything other than finding a missing person; shame on you. By not concentrating on the one thing this kid's family needs, you're taking from them, not helping them.

Was it a trick gone bad, or was it a kid that wanted to be a girl and tired of mama calling them "son"? Was it robbery? Rape (suprise there rapist, the victim wasn't an "innie!)? Or did the kid just take off to live their life elsewhere?

Hopefully the family will find closure on this in one way or another. Not knowing is worse than anything else.

So we should all just sit on our ass. When has that ever solved anything? You don't work for a living or pay taxes, do you?

Here's a constructive thought: Has anyone contacted Mark Klaas's organization www.pollyklaas.org ? This organization was mentioned recently on Dateline. I'm sure they could offer help if only someone asked. This would make a good news story follow up for NBC 29.

Dashad Smith was dealt his fate when he showed up at a train station to meet a man that thought he was a woman. The man found out the truth that he was deceived by a cross dresser. The hard reality is his case has been flushed down the commode by society and written off.

It is indeed sad when one of our own vanishes without a trace! I believe anyone who knows about this case feels great sympathy for the friends and family. The police department has spent many hours looking for the missing person. Let's not turn this into a finger-pointing event.The search continues and hopefully will result in finding the victim alive and well. For those who are stirring up trouble regarding race and sexual orientation as well as badmouthing Charlottesville, please do us all a favor and pack your bags and leave Charlottesville. You are hate mongers and negative about most everything-so please GO!!!Shame on you!!!Kind thoughts for the family!
